If you are weighing up your options when fitting a new boiler at your home, it is important to consider the needs of the occupants of your property and what system would be most suitable for them. You will want to look at factors such as size of the property, demand for hot water at certain times and what the existing boiler setup is before deciding on a suitable replacement system. As experienced installers of all types of boilers, we have the knowledge to advise you on the best choice for you. Allow us to talk you through system boilers and why they may be suitable for your home.
What is a system boiler?
A system boiler differs to a combi in that instead of heating water on demand, it features a separate cylinder to store hot water so that it can provide a larger supply to your home at once. A coil within the cylinder takes water from the mains supply at a high temperature, so it is kept warm within the internal tank and ready as soon as needed to be transported to showers or taps.
Benefits of a system boiler
- Capacity
System boilers are popular in larger homes, due to the fact that they are able to cope with a high demand for hot water at certain times. If multiple people are using the showers and taps in your home as may be the case in a morning rush, the water stored in the cylinder of your boiler can be diverted to multiple locations. This gives this system the edge over a combi boiler, which would struggle to heat water on demand for numerous taps at once. - Practicality
Despite being larger than a combi due to the size of the cylinder, a system still takes up significantly less space than a traditional boiler. This is because they do not require an external tank or additional external components to store and heat water. The all-in-one nature of the system means that everything is built into the cylinder, so you do not have to be too concerned by the amount of space used. - Easy installation
As we have previously discussed, a system boiler will cause you significantly less hassle than a traditional style boiler due to the way the system works. The fact that everything is built in means that your new boiler can be installed with ease, without the time-consuming exercise of fitting a cold-water tank as would be necessary with a standard system. You can have your new boiler up and running in no time.
